Featured Reviews

Alice Walter - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Lead at Target
Cloud monitoring has reduced threats and has improved response times and team productivity
Alert Logic MDR's best features are the cloud-managed service, the cost benefit, and 24/7 monitoring. The alert system improved from potentially 24 hours to one hour response time. The benefit of not having to write custom queries has been significant.The features are very lightweight, with small installations that leave almost no footprint on systems. System resource utilization is minimal. Alert Logic MDR has positively impacted my organization through its decentralized pricing approach, which has protected against several viruses. Any virus stopped represents money saved. There is low impact on users, so they do not experience slowness on their computers when scanning. Alert Logic MDR has improved security in my organization from 50 to 65%.
